Benchmark indices on March 16 failed to hold on to the gains logged in the previous session and closed with massive losses.

The market mayhem resurfaced and the equity benchmarks plummeted to its second-biggest single-day fall as worries about the impact of coronavirus on domestic as well as the global economy grew stronger.

Sensex eventually closed 2,713 points, or 7.96 percent down at 31,390 while Nifty ended 758 points or 7.61 percent down at 9,197.40.

BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices closed 5.94 percent and 5.66 percent down, respectively.

Experts are of the view that the market is showing no signs of stability as the economic impact of coronavirus is likely to be significant for many major economies.
